There are definitely alot of threads recently asking small questions... questions which don't need their own thread.

Which is why I made this thread, after search bar ing for a similar thread.

Invader Jim edit: This thread is about small questions too small for a new thread. You MUST post a question relating to something you need help with, or post an answer to a question that has been asked.

This thread is also ONLY FOR GB&C-RELATED QUESTIONS. Do not post questions irrelevant to this forum.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE RULES WILL RESULT IN A WARNING, WHICH WILL RESULT IN A BAN IF IT'S YOUR SECOND ACTIVE WARNING.

I have made my template and gotten the necessary router bit to begin cutting my body with the router.

How do I go about securing the template to the body so that it does not slip? My dad has suggested nailing the template down, one nail hole in the neck pocket and one by the pickup area/bridge in an attempt to hide it. I can make my own pick guard if necessary, so that is an option as well.

However, human nature trumps this. It will just promote laziness, not reading the resources provided, basically make everything else moot. People will start asking questions that SHOULD go in an ultimate/only thread, and it'll generally cause me alot of headaches having to monitor it.

Thanks for the support, guys. I just wanted to give everyone a place to... well... ask their small questions that don't really need a thread. I think if we link stuff which is already in the Ultimate Threads when someone asks about it, it'll turn out OK. This could be a great resource for people who have small questions.

Perhaps edit my TS post to link to the list of Ultimate Threads?

SYK and those who said I should've consulted a mod:

Learning experience, I guess... next time I will definitely consult a mod first, I was just trying to help out (and I also had a question which I did not want to start a thread for, so went about it in a roundabout way.)

I apologize for two questions of the same nature, but...

I will use the same clamps I used to clamp the body blank and neck, then. That'll work out ok, using as many as 5 clamps? I was thinking clamp it down over 3/4 of the shape and then cut the unclamped 1/3.
